Three juveniles were detained in the mass shooting Wednesday that injured 22 people and killed a woman.
Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves said a dispute shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday between several people led to the shooting that erupted at the conclusion of the Chiefs Super Bowl rally at Union Station.
Graves said several firearms had been recovered.
Dozens of people were injured and 23 people were struck by gunfire, including Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who died. Half of the victims were under the age of 16, according to Graves.
“Yesterday we experienced a tragic event during a time that was meant for celebration,” Graves said.
She also noted that witnesses helped stop one of the people believed to be involved in the shooting.
Asked about reports of a separate shooting Wednesday less than a mile from Union Station near East 27th Street and Gillham Road, Graves said it was not known to be connected to the violence at the rally itself.
The shooting was reported about 1:30 p.m. Police on Wednesday said two people were injured.
“Right now, we don’t have any information that those are related,” Graves said. But that’s under investigation.”
